AI-assisted adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid engineering has transformative potential in terms of accelerating and optimizing the development of gene therapies. That’s the view of Fangzhi Tan, PhD, ...

In a recent study published in The Lancet Microbe journal, researchers described the effectiveness of a modular capsid virus-like coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. Study: First-in-human ...

With up to 2.4 million U.S. cases and over 250 million chronic cases globally, hepatitis B infection persists despite the availability of a vaccine. Vaccines work by immunizing the body against a ...

Physics and astronomy professors have developed a theory and performed a series of simulations that may help explain how a virus finds its native genome and how capsids form around it and not around ...

Bioengineers have found a way to program the size and shape of virus particles by combining viral protein building blocks and templates made from DNA. The resulting nanostructures could have ...

Scientists at the Electron Bio-Imaging Centre (eBIC) at Diamond Light Source, in the U.K., have harnessed a new technique, using cryo-electron tomography (cryoET) and subtomogram averaging (STA) to ...
